Quake Wars demo lands on Live News • News • Eurogamer.net

News Xbox 360

Half-naked and with robot legs.

Microsoft has furnished Live Marketplace with a new demo for Enemy Territory: Quake Wars.

This is the Battlefield-like take on the famous shooter series where you choose to either be boring humans or the cyborg Strogg and then have a big fight with vehicles and tactics and things.

Quake creator id Software only had a supervising role in the project, with Splash Damage doing the bulk of the work for PC and Nerve Software tidying it up for console.

That desktop version came out last year and faired rather well, and ended-up notably more polished than the recently released console offerings.

Head over to our Enemy Territory: Quake Wars Xbox 360 review to find out more.

Will try it - can't see it being worse than Bad Company!

/still looking for a replacement squad-based, vehicular FPS on 360 - BF2:MC is getting a tad creaky

Me too. I'm doing some DLCs now. Still have GRID to open, and a couple of XBLA ones to play too. Ninja Gaiden should be flying from UK to Lisbon as we speak as well... (damn PT shops!! there's life after PlayStation you stupid old-timers!)

So many games, so litle time.

Its been around 30 celsius all week in Oslo and 22 celsius in the water so i havent played much this week. Oslo was actually the hottest capital in Europe all week. Looks like its not going to be the case this week so i might get in a few extra hours of gaming. Havent opened my LP: Colonies copy yet either, im a little worried that the online community is a bit small.

This has no chance with me, loving battlefield since the Beta, and i'm still keeping faith in Frontlines ( though this mythical patch better come soon)

Really can't be bothered having 3 battlefield type games on the go....

I kind of like it, I'm still not gonna buy it, but its not as bad as I expected.

Do like it a lot better than the Battlefield demo...
